Photo Editing?

[sunnyorm]

For those of you who edit your photos; What program do you use?
I don't have the bucks for Photoshop, or any of the others, and I find Microsoft Publisher to be too cumbersome.

What I mean is, basically, like adding text, arrows etc. to explain sections within photos.

I use picture publisher. It came with a scanner I bought about 20 years ago. I doublt if it is still available. I think photoshop bought a lot of the old programs and killed them to increase their sales.

Thanks for reply 2manycars, i found something, Duh, it's called Preview in Macbook, sometimes, i just need to think more on a subject.

Wow, I did not know preview had those features. They are hidden until the menu is enabled. Thanks for that.

I just use Microsoft Paint. I upload pictures from my camera to my laptop. I then select the picture. Right click. Open with Paint. Edit as desire. I personally resize the picture first. I then select other edit options as desired. Example attached.

I have been using Microsoft paint for years. Its free, simple to use. No, you cant do advanced stuff like a photoshop.
